In Nagios (or check_mk), is there a way to see what the final effective object (e.g. host) definition is after all templates, inheritance, etc.?
I want to use this as a test/debug tool to make sure my definitions end up as intended, and also to compare configurations to each other.
Thank you
There should be a 'status.dat' file in your Nagios installation (usually [Nagios_install]/var/status.dat) that contains a 'flattened' list of all defined checks.
Your main nagios.cfg file should have its location under:
Format: status_file=<file_name>
Example: status_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/status.dat
And also this file:
Format: object_cache_file=<file_name>
Example: object_cache_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache
Hope this helps.
